If you have nausea this could help



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I've been nauseous for the past week. I'll be 6 weeks post-op in 2 days. I called the nurse so we can try to figure out what was causing the nausea. At first, I thought it was my Vitamins, so the nurse told me to

stop them and see if the nausea would go away. It didn't. It always started after lunch and got worse throughout

the day. The worst was in the evening. I kept feeling like I was about to throw up, but only saliva would come

out (sorry for being so gross!). At the end of the worst episode, I felt something like heartburn. So, the next

day, I tried Tums, lunch time and supper time and my nausea got better. The day after that, I took my regular

antacid pill in the morning and also took one before supper and no nausea at all. I called the nurse today to let

her know I thought it was acid reflux so we are still testing it out, but it looks like that's what it is. So

heartburn is not always a side effect because I didn't have that, I just had bad nausea and the salivating. I feel

much better now and wanted to share in case someone else was going through this and didn't know what was causing

the nausea. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip. Acid reflux does some very strange things to people, and it can effect us all in varying ways.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
